The Chinese Super League has entered the winter window, and the adjustment of various clubs is underway, in which the introduction of reinforcements is a very important link, especially according to the performance of last season's game, looking for the lack of lineups, and making up for it in the winter window. Of course, in addition to the players, there are also adjustments to the coaching staff, on the one hand, the coach is directly replaced, and the new coach has been hired by Haigang, Shenhua, Henan team, and Manatee, and the coaching staff is also directly replaced; on the other hand, the details of the coaching staff have been adjusted, including the change of the team leader and assistant coach, and the fine-tuning is also to optimize the management team.
In the 2023 season, the 32-year-old Chinese Super League giant Guoan only achieved the 6th place, which obviously did not match the expectations of the outside world, after all, the coach was changed halfway, after Suarez took office, the Guoan performance was up and down, not distempered, so after the end of the league, there was also a possibility of changing the coach, but the management still chose to trust, the "firefighting" coaching was in a hurry, and it was not easy to stabilize Guoan's results, and the club also hoped to give Suarez complete preparation time, believing that he could lead the team to progress, and even impact the AFC Champions League place.
Although the head coach is stable, it does not mean that the coaching staff is not moving, the national security side also made adjustments on January 9, Sui Dongliang was promoted to team leader, the 46-year-old national football legend entered the national security gradient after retiring, and led the team in the 2022 season with a short-term "firefighting", and then assisted Menzo and Suarez, accumulated a lot of coaching experience, and the most important thing is to deepen the understanding of the first team, so it is more suitable to serve as the team leader this time. Although he served as the team leader, Sui Dongliang was still a teaching assistant, which can be described as one person and two positions, and his role was significantly improved.
The original team leader, 7-year veteran Fu Bin, left the team, mainly because he was unwell last season, and he did not renew his contract when his contract expired, and it was correct to choose to recuperate. Along with Fu Bin are goalkeeper coach Lima, goalkeeper assistant coach and Jung Yuan, both of whom are also out of contract and replaced by Lobo, a Portuguese assistant coach who became Guoan's first new signing for the 2024 season.
Although Lobo is only 36 years old, he has cooperated with Suarez for many years, and it is a different club, obviously, the goalkeeper coach does not renew the contract, the main reason is Suarez's choice, the deputy leader is Jiang Xiaojun, and the team assisting Suarez is as many as 7 people, among them, Maulicio, Pedro, Raul, Tao Wei, Luis, Sui Dongliang and other 6 assistant coaches, plus goalkeeper coach Lobo.
